VPNProNet Support

VPNProNet has an online support area with an extensive knowledgebase and the ability to submit issue tickets, and e-mail. We found that the e-mail support was pretty fast for the questions but the knowledgebase pretty short on material

VPNProNet vs. The Competition

While we like VPNProNet – some might consider it a liability that thier service is only available in one country. Nonetheless prices seem to be inline with the market and support seems good.

VPNProNet Errors

Although we noted a few complaints in their comments section, we personally experienced no errors, slowdowns or any other issues with this service.

Our Conclusion On VPNProNet

VPNProNet seems like a good service and we experienced a good level of service in our test however we don’t like the lack of a free trial or no money back guarantee offer.

We would also prefer personally a VPN service provider with more geographically diverse endpoints. That said, VPNProNet is a decent choice nonetheless.
